Description
He is an extraordinary talent with an ordinary name. Bob Smith is musician, producer, writer and innovator. He is a veteran of the 90s college circuit and an 80s DIY recording pioneer. He has performed around the country in a wide range of styles; from Rock to Country, Folk to Jazz. His band Shu has made a lasting impression on the experimental rock and jam scene of recent years. His group The Distractions has quietly left an indelible 20 year mark on the indie-rock community.
Bobs new CD The Reason for Swimming is his third solo release. It is an artful and introspective 13-song rumination on life as we live it. The songs are smart, but with a hook. The disc is the definitive statement of his formidable songwriting, performance, and production skills. The multi-instrumentalist wrote, performed, and recorded every genre-bending note on the CD, the only exception being his faithful and humble cover of The Feelies Its Only Life.
GFR Records is the new label launching with this release. Bob Smith is not only the labels first artist, but also its owner and founder. He has worked in radio (WKBE), TV (WNCE), print, and research. He has been published in Billboard magazine, Airplay Monitor magazine, and for six years as a music columnist in Glens Falls The Chronicle. He was a co-founding member and co-developer of the revolutionary HitPredictor song research system alongside and under the tutelage of industry heavyweights. With GFR, Bob introduces his own independent label with two decades of music industry lessons under his belt.
